MOVE ON

i love u for this finally someone who gets it

Why should we rewrite the story with Jo in mind, thinking of what Jo would’ve been in Ian’s life? What purpose does that serve? I’m personally fed up with the flashbacks because I think theyre too disjointed and haven’t been used properly throughout the story, but people will speak of flashbacks because that’s been the majority of their lives and the story has been flooded with flashbacks that interconnect them. TJ AND Ian can’t move on from it, but readers should?

Because you guys act like Jo wouldnt or couldn't do the same..No one said the story had to be rewritten? Where did you get that from?

and you guys think they should end up together because of their past, which doesn't make sense to me at all.. who says they can't move on, just because it hasnt happened doesn't mean it wont.

Just because characters have history together is not reason for them to end up together

And Id much rather see a story of someone moving on with someone new instead of staying with someone from their past. It's been 19 years, Wrap it.

real like bro wrap it up tjs time up

Exactly.

You might want to avoid generalizing how everyone who loves TJ feels about Jo, because your statement had nothing to do with my take on Jo. It might not be what you were saying, but the way you phrased it makes it seem as though you want us to rewrite that in our heads. Like if Jo had known him first, then etc. But how is that relevant to the facts of their story? Why should we do that? Why can’t we simply appreciate the facts as told instead of thinking of what Jo would’ve been for Ian. Statements like these always puzzle me.

No. I’d appreciate if you didn’t presume to know why I love their relationship. Their past has nothing to do with why I want them together. My ship started precisely at the end of season 1 and beginning of season 2, when TJ realized how messed up it had been for him to hold on to Ian for so long. When he realized that had he succeeded in bringing Ian back into the gang, Ian would’ve been in the car with him and might have even died in his accident. That was the first time he made a choice out of love, that wasn’t selfish. He chose to let him go. To see Ian assert himself and show a different side to him that led me to truly love him as an MC, made me feel all the more engaged in their dynamic. It’s also when I realized that up to that point, we’d been led to believe that TJ was the only one holding on to that relationship. I realized then that this is probably a scenario that occurred more than once throughout their lives: Ian too, couldn’t let go. Even worse, he was ready to sink back into a gang full of people he disliked so he could find and kill whoever tried to harm TJ. It’s really when TJ walked away from him and Ian started searching for him that my desire to see them end up together started to grow. Seeing that, I had a hard time understanding how Ian could replicate that feeling for anyone else or how he’d ever put anyone else above TJ. That’s why while TJ’s disappearance allowed his relationship with Jo to grow, I feel like their being together is a result of circumstances rather than clear choices. I would just like to feel that if Ian chooses Jo in the end, it’s truly because he wanted to do that knowing TJ was an option, rather than because TJ walked away. I love for love to feel true down to your bone, rather than for love to be circumstantial or because that’s just the right answer. It’s not wrong for love to be that way of course, but that’s just my preference.

The whataboutmeism is crazy. You're missing my point as well. Nobody is asking you to do that lol. The point Im making is that its weird to compare someone you've know for a long period of time vs someone you recently met. People put TJ on a pedestal because of this, but the amount time you know someone does not equate to a better relationship. TJ could save Ian from a burning building that doesnt make him the better option.

And TJ stans seem to think TJ is a better option for Ian because of their history not for any other reason

You guys are fixated on emotional trauam bonds and you think thats a good reason for a relationship.

And why did they do that??? Because they have history which you are obviously indirectly drawn too

Tool him 19 years to realize that lol. Yeah wrap it up

… Okay, I finally get it. You have a problem with people being into their story. Alright then, that was a pointless conversation. Have a nice day.

Honestly Im just gonna block you. O think its pointless having this conversation with a TJ stan, because unfortunately - well let me not say anything further.
